Once again, I invite you to join the BWI College Football Pick'Em. We took a hiatus last year due to the pandemic, but we've conducted a BWI College Football Pick'Em since 2001, if I recall correctly. As always, the competition is just for bragging rights. There is no entry fee to participate, and you don't win any money for winning the BWI College Football Pick'Em.

I caution again that the process I go through to set up a group is not the same as someone that is joining a group. As such, I'm not certain of the order of the process, so if any of the below is out of sequence, please post a corrected order and I'll edit this post.
From the above LINK, select the Join a Group pushbutton
From the Join Group screen, go to the right side.
In the Group ID# field, enter: 5230
In the Password field, enter "pennstate"
Then, select the Join Group pushbutton
At this point, you'll have to create a handle. In Yahoo's lingo, that is your "Pick Set Name." Please try to use your board handle as your Pick Set Name. (Note: I believe the default is to have your e-mail address viewable to all. If you don't want this, then deselect that option.)
I've opted for the weekly slate of games to be:
- the Yahoo default games AND the B1G conference games AND the Top 25 games
- tie-breakers will be used each week
- you get to drop your 2 worst scores for the overall competition (season-long)
- the deadline for entering selections is 5 minutes before the start of a game
I have not opted to pick against the point spread, or to rank your games by your confidence level.
If we look back at the 2019 season-long competition, these were the final standings:
1st - rotzc
2nd - SW Fla Lion
3rd - fairgambit and MontereyLion tied
4th – Yours truly
5th – For the Glory!, LeatherHelmet, and harjeff tied
6th – lein
7th – twak, RWCStateFan, and Safety Blitz tied
8th – NittanyLionFan's Picks and mttopchuck tied
9th – swfmike, NitneLiun's Crystal Ball, PSU Paul, and bytir tied
10th – Nittany.Lion, Offside Clyde, and PSU Toronto tied
The competition does not start until Sep. 3rd, but Week 1's slate is now posted.
Best of luck to all that play!
